Does my employer have to provide this?

What to look out for

You often need payslips for a mortgage application, a tenancy reference, a benefit claim or your tax return.
A former employer should still be able to provide your payslips and your P60 for the relevant year.
Need your P60 or a P45 as well? Say so in the period field so it is included in the request.
Keep a copy of this letter as proof that you asked, and when.
